Celebrate the true meaning of Christmas

I read the article about the Rugrats Kwanzaa program and the quote incorporated which reads, “It ties in with what we feel the Christmas spirit is about: family, giving, unity, purpose.”

Unfortunately, most of today’s TV Christmas movies are looking for the meaning of Christmas and come to the same conclusion as this article. This is not the meaning of Christmas. Christmas is about God becoming flesh in Jesus Christ and Jesus becoming our Lord and king. Jesus’ ministry proclaimed the way in which we are to live our lives, but only by accepting his coming will you find the true meaning of Christmas.
